I can't believe I'm sitting here pulling for Michigan. I feel so dirty.

NIU beats the Jayhawkers 38-31 on a hail mary with time expiring (gaining an achievement!) to cap a 24 point 4th quarter that included tying the game with only 1:48 left. The last play was run as NIU rushed to the line after a completed pass over the middle left them with only 6 sec and no time outs.

This game had everything: pick-6s by both sides, fumbles returned for a TD, fumbles returned for TD that was called back after a review (leading to a 4th-and-20 conversion that kept NIU in the game), recovered onside kicks followed by an INT followed by a forced fumble returned for a TD as Kansas tried to run out the clock, LONG pass plays (50, 51, 82 yds, etc) by both sides, a pass thrown by the NIU QB as he was getting nailed that floated into double coverage and ended up being tipped by 2 defenders before my WR grabbed it at his shoelaces, a blitzing Kansas safety batting the ball up at the line only to intercept it himself, NIU going 4-4 on crucial 4th down conversions, and a total of 7 turnovers.

NIU overcame *5* INTs by their quarterback, including at least 3 in the redzone, 4 sacks, innumerable hurries, and -35 yards rushing to win the game.

Kansas looked good coming out of the gates, scoring two long TDs in the first half to take the halftime lead 17-7. NIU stiffened on defense, but every time they got within 10 points, I threw a pick or stalled on offense giving Kansas an easy score. At the end of the third quarter, NIU was down 31-14, but I was driving through the redzone. I scored early in the 4th and then got lucky!
